Bill James Projections for Jays

I am an avid reader of Fangraphs, which I highly recommend to any and all baseball fans, and they recently released the Bill James projections for all players. I collected the projections for the Jays main players and some interesting ones.

These projections are generally overly optimistic and I trust most other projection systems more then BJ, but these are currently available and i am bored, so here we go!

I am thrilled we obtained 3 switch hitters this off season as i have always felt we lacked left handed hitters. We also brought in valuable OBP abilities, which i feel has been the biggest detriment to our offense. Also, we are going to be so incredibly dangerous on the bases this year!

I feel Romero can easily out-perform that bad projection, and while he is not the pitcher he appeared to be in that strong 2011, he is certainly not the mess he was last season.

Based on these numbers, seems we are no further ahead starting Rasmus over Gose. Which means dealing Rasmus is not out of the question.. But all this is speculative numbers that you don't use to base who's best to move and who to keep.

But an interesting read

Absolutely, these are purely speculative, and there are numerous superior projection systems out there that i look forward to examining.
